Strategies for playing Table tennis doubles

This entry is on the appropriate footwork movement of double partners. IMHO, i believe a right hand/left hand partnership is much more easier as compared to a RH/RH combination. The footwork is much more simple. However, it is just my personal opinion. In my training days, my coach has taught us the basic footwork required in a doubles match. For a RH/LH combination, it is usually something like the diagram below. It is just a straight forward in and out footwork.



For a RH/RH combination, usually, players are required to run in circles as they tend to impede one another's movements. (shown below)
